Today I recorded the show and sent a few emails to the Shock Jock, who goes by the radio name PK because of "security reasons". I have created website of some sound bites that has some chilling remarks and examples of the rage this individual has focused on not only myself but the bicycling community. Even more frightening this show is nationally syndicated.
I am in no way suggesting censorship of this individual. However, I feel that his radio station pulling the podcast of the show is a tactic in which to prevent a proper FCC investigation. Further more, this is the arrogance of a corporation's misuse of the public airwaves.
What is new you ask ... well, this time we are not backing down. On July 22nd the radio station is having an event at Grants Park from Noon to 3:00PM. I feel that it is appropriate for all cyclists to attend this event and and personally thank PK and his Playhouse crew for endangering our lives.
Also the radio stations management is receiving an unusually high number of calls about this subject and I encourage you to voice your opinion how they should use your airwaves to them.

I do not recommend calling the morning show as they will only reedit your phone comments in an unfavorable way.
To hear the sound clips and learn more about organizing on the 22nd please goto:

However, it is highly possible that the station pulled it because it is OFFENSIVE and people can still complain to the FCC. They cannot "hide" it from the FCC or would risk the loss of their license.
I think the July 22nd meet-up in Grants Pass at their event is a GREAT IDEA.
will be waiting anxiously for the photos and reporting
